I'll kill you after I finish this game!

A powerful force descended upon the place, causing Skadi's vision to be turned upside down once again.

It transformed into black mist and Buddha statues and stone pillars in the sky, with a pure white sky below.

Skadi, who had previously fallen into the sea of ​​black mist, is now falling towards the pure white sky.

"Hmm, that's right. It saves me the trouble of explaining. This is a pure realm of concepts, but it's also a rift in the world... a narrow passage."

As Skadi continued to fall, the golden spider, the size of a palm, descended to her side once more, its silken threads dangling in the air, moving at the same speed as Skadi's descent.

"The narrow passage appears vast, yet it is actually quite cramped. The souls of the dead return here, returning to nothingness?"

Skadi slowly reached out and placed her hand on the towering stone pillar, stopping it. She glanced at the spider beside her, then looked at the world before her and spoke.

The conceptual world before us is infinitely large, yet appears extremely small in the eyes of certain powerful individuals.

After all, there is no real concept of size in this place.

"Hmm, talking to smart people really doesn't require any waste of breath," Golden Spider said with a grin, looking like he knew the boy was easy to teach.

You have no words to speak!

Skadi rolled her eyes at the golden spider, then stared blankly at the world before her and said:

"So why did you bring me here? To take me, a dead person, to where I belong?"

“Logically, souls that come here should fall unconsciously, but you were able to reverse it, which is in some ways better than those who return from nothingness through anger.”

The spider shook its body, and spider silk shot out from behind it again, weaving a swing for Skadi in the void.

A person who returns from nothingness through anger?

Skadi's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and she readily accepted the Golden Spider's invitation to sit on the spider silk swing, while also becoming curious about the person the Golden Spider had mentioned.

Skadi's doubts were quickly answered.

The swing beneath him swayed slightly, flipped over again, and then floated in one direction, quickly finding the person the Golden Spider had mentioned.

"Asura?"

At this moment, in Skadi's line of sight, near the Black Mist Sea, a man with his eyes closed hung there.

They looked like they were asleep, but the deathly stillness made them seem more like death.

Even without waking up, Ashura's hand remained firmly gripping the edge of the towering stone pillar, refusing to let go and fall.

"He lost his physical body, but his soul also came here."

The Golden Spider looked at Asura hanging from the stone pillar, its tone filled with admiration, and said:

"But his anger was too deep, and his obsession was too deep. After falling into the 'nothingness,' even though he lost consciousness, memory, thought, and personality, his unquenchable anger still resisted returning to stillness. His obsession still longed for the human world and refused to enter the cycle of reincarnation. In this way, he climbed out of the abyss of the 'nothingness' like a lonely ghost."

Ashura was a promising individual chosen by the Golden Spider. Losing his physical body was no big deal; as long as he retained his soul, he could simply reshape a body using the power of mantras.

As the one who has best adapted to the Mantra of Wrath throughout history, Ashura is the one who has explored the power of the Mantra of Wrath the deepest, making him a perfect match for it.

The power of the Wrathful Words had long been inseparable from Ashura's soul. Even though Deus had taken away the core of the Words Power, Ashura still possessed the power of the Words.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Myths and Legends Passed Down Through Generations – The Goddess of Salvation

Skadi's deep eyes were fixed on the Asura soul hanging on the towering stone pillar. At this moment, in her eyes, it was no longer the soul of a god or human, but the manifestation of rage.

Skadi wasn't too surprised by this; what truly surprised him was something beyond his anger.

Skadi is now a completely different person. Although she has lost her cultivation as a cosmic powerhouse, her spiritual and mental realms have advanced by leaps and bounds.

Skadi's eyes can now see many things that are invisible.

For anger to ignite, it must have a cause, or rather, a fuel; no one gets angry for no reason.

In Ashura's burning rage, Skadi saw not only Ashura's hatred and obsession burning like fuel, but also many other things.

That is karma.

However, only a small portion of this karma belongs to the Asura; the vast majority does not belong to him.

Skadi, who had studied the Three Buddhas Sutra, was very sensitive to this.

Karma, as opposed to merit, is a force that arises after doing evil.

In essence, although this power is insidious, it is no different from other powers.

In Buddhism, there are three karmas, corresponding to the karma of body, speech, and mind.

It mainly refers to karma created by physical actions, karma created by verbal actions, and karma created by the arising of thoughts.

Among the three karmas, there are good and evil.

The sins committed by the body correspond to killing, stealing, and adultery.

Sins of speech correspond to divisive speech, harsh speech, false speech, and frivolous speech.

The sins of the mind: greed, anger, and ignorance.

There is no doubt that Asura's body is filled with immense, abyss-like evil karma, and he has committed all three major evil deeds.

These evil deeds within his rage are like a condensation of the entire universe; apart from Asura's obsession, it is these things that sustain his rage, allowing it to burn continuously.

Buddhist thought emphasizes the principle of cause and effect, and the concept of karma.

Karma has an unimaginable and terrifying destructive power over those who create it.

If the quantity reaches a certain level, it can bring terrible consequences to people and cause gods and Buddhas to fall into the abyss.

Most people who know what karma is avoid it like the plague, but there are some monstrous killers who are not afraid of karma at all.

Skadi was puzzled as to whom this karma belonged if most of it did not belong to the Asura.

The immense karma accumulated from the actions of Asuras fuels their insatiable rage and unleashes a terrifying, targeted destructive power akin to a self-destructive force.

"Did you bring me here just to see Asura?"

Skadi remained outwardly calm, but she had already begun to suspect the strange things about Ashura.

Because that karma is still growing, and the anger is burning ever brighter, if this karma is not put out... no... the existence of Asuras will inevitably lead to hostility towards the source of the karma, and may even result in the death of that person.

She didn't know if the golden spider beside her had noticed anything amiss with Ashura, nor did she know why he had brought her here.

"Oh dear, you're half right. I originally had my eye on Ashura, so I wanted him to inherit my position, but then I discovered you."

Golden Spider moved its metallic spider legs and jumped onto Skadi's shoulder, speaking in a distressed and conflicted tone.

It was indeed quite conflicted. Ashura was a talent it had noticed long ago, and it was preparing to cultivate him to become the successor of this universe.

But now that Skadi has been discovered, it's like finding both gold and jewels. There can only be one heir to this world; you can't have both.

Skadi's expression turned strange upon hearing this. She glanced at the desolate, cramped world with a peculiar look, and said with a hint of disdain:

"It's alright, there has to be a first come, first served. You should still choose Ashura as your successor. I have no interest in this place."

"...It's not what you think. Of course, it's not just about inheriting this place."

Upon hearing this, the golden spider choked, and from the disdainful tone, it naturally knew that Skadi had misunderstood something.

The other party regarded this place as the place it claimed to inherit, which made the Golden Spider both amused and speechless. It couldn't directly explain to Skadi that what it was inheriting was an entire world.

"I don't care where I inherit it anymore. There's no such thing as a free lunch. And if there were, it might be poisoned. You can give it to whoever you want, but I don't want it. Take me away from here."

Skadi, expressionless, reached out and gently pinched the golden spider on her shoulder, placing it in her palm. With a lazy look in her eyes, she gestured for the spider to hurry up and get her out of this awful place.

This place is so desolate. Apart from Skadi and the golden spider, there's only Ashura sleeping on a stone pillar. I really don't want to stay here any longer.

"Hmm... don't be so quick to refuse. You have the intention to save the world. Although the immense power of the mantra you left behind is enough to destroy Buridora, destroying Buridora does not mean that you can save the world."

"...What do you mean?" Skadi frowned slightly as she listened to the Golden Spider's cunning laughter.

"Literally, you were once a human, then became a god-human, and finally a god-general. You are well aware of the arrogance of the divine kingdom towards the humans on the ground, aren't you? The absence of Buridora is a good thing for their divine kingdom, but not for humans."

Since the Golden Spider is interested in Skadi, it will naturally keep a close eye on her in secret.

Although we don't know what Skadi is thinking, we can deduce some things from her behavior over the past thousand years.

Skadi was first human, then a god, but she never forgot her roots.

At least, in the realm of gods, aside from beings like Ashura and Yaksha, Skadi was the most benevolent towards humans on earth.

Moreover, the enormous love mantra mentioned earlier made the Golden Spider think the wrong thing: Skadi, though outwardly calm and indifferent, is a compassionate person at heart.

"Heh...you really do pay attention to me."

Skadi chuckled softly. Although she didn't know what the Golden Spider had misunderstood, what the Golden Spider said was indeed reasonable and correct.

Bridhara is the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the divine kingdom. Without this extremely threatening sword, the divine kingdom will no longer have any restrictions.

Could excessive power lead to corruption? Skadi never doubted this.

In the more than two thousand years of this cycle, after the divine kingdom began to harvest human souls and exploit the power of true words, many people in the divine kingdom's army and even among the divine people have come to regard humans as livestock or dust.

Although beings like Yaksha and Deus did not intend to persecute humanity, they could not control the thoughts of the entire divine kingdom.

In particular, the Deus Great Reversal Project required a large number of human souls as the filling of the power of the mantra. In the very beginning of the process more than two thousand years ago, the soldiers of the divine army were somewhat restrained.

Many soldiers, following the instructions of the righteous Yaksha, tried their best to collect the souls of the humans killed by the demon-slaying.

After killing a human, the demon will devour the human's soul. At this time, the divine kingdom will arrive and be able to kill the demon, take that part of the soul, and transform it into the power of mantra.

However, this harvesting efficiency is far from sufficient to meet Deus's requirement of killing Bridora twelve thousand years later.

Therefore, he would destroy some human civilizations on Earth when they reached their peak and harvest their souls.

On Earth today, we can see many remnants of human civilization. A few were destroyed by demons, but many more were destroyed by divine kingdoms.

Because of the countless exterminations of humanity, the divine kingdom increasingly regards humans as mere ants and dust on earth.

Some soldiers from the divine kingdoms would even destroy human tribes from time to time to collect souls and pass them off as military merits.

Deus knew all this, but he never stopped it.

However, such behavior will not be encouraged; we will simply pretend we didn't see it.

However, sometimes, ignoring evil is the greatest encouragement for it.

"Hehehe, this also means that I value you a lot."

Skadi's words of displeasure at his spying were met with a nonchalant smile from the golden spider in her palm, which then spoke in a seductive tone:
